Craig Melvin and his wife, Lindsay Cazarniak, have come a long way from the early days of their careers.
The couple met working at the NBC affiliate WRC-TV in Washington, D.C and tied the knot three years later.
While they no longer work together, Lindsay recently shared a throwback to the days when they were co-hosts.
They looked as happy as ever, with their beaming smiles as they sat behind a news desk.
Lindsay rocked a shorter hair do, while Craig sported the same cropped tresses he does today.
Lindsay shared the snapshot to air her pride over Craig’s new position on Today.
He’ll be taking over from Hoda Kotb in the new year and Lindsay paid a gushing tribute to her husband, who she’s been married to since 2011.
“My heart is honestly bursting. Craig Melvin,” she wrote. “I am so proud of you and so beyond grateful for the man you are.”
She continued: “I am overwhelmed by the emotions that have come along with watching this morning’s announcement of you being named the new co-host of the Today Show.
“I think seeing the news become official alongside your TV family has made it hit home even more what a true blessing this is.”
She said watching the person she loves see their dreams come is “such a gift” and said she would never forget that day.
Lindsay also praised Craig for his role as a dad to their two young children, Delano and Sybil, and for how he conducts himself as a colleague and brother too.

“I’m proud because the man so many Americans “wake up with” in the mornings truly is the same person we see at home. Warm, caring, curious, smart, funny, snacking on all the food being prepared.”

Others called Lindsay’s words “beautiful,” and said Craig’s new role is “so deserving.”
Speaking about their busy work schedules in TV, Lindsay previously told People: “We make it work and it’s been very, very helpful to have someone who understands crazy hours.”
Lindsay is a FOX NFL and FOX NASCAR reporter for FOX Sports and previously worked for ESPN and SportsCenter.
